Thanks bro
You’re a god among men for doing this service, the world is a nice place to live only thanks to all the people like you
You are a legend. :D
Thank you
Thanks!
His strat sounds more like Slash‘s Les Paul, than my LP with Signature Slash AFD Pickups and Marshall Stack...
Leroy Humbel thats Why i Think the Sound is cheat
Technique > gear
Dude no lol
Having that right Amps and whammy go wonders, tho has no pedal tho
Sound is in the fingers,
Just saying congrats to anyone who has actually been able to complete this solo
Speed Driven RC I can do every single thing done except the fast part cause I don’t actually know how to pick
I can somewhat do the fast part, but the rest is much easier
This is kind of bragging but not meaning to brag, I am able to do the fast part and I’m just coming up to 2 years of playing the guitar
@@thefranticmeep6499 nice, it really just depends on how many hours of practise you do a day
@arin johri I practice about 4 hours a day, normally at around 3am
People are complaining about him playing a strat but they're forgetting this is a lesson not a cover.
@Noartist true bro! Carl also replaced the single-coils with hotrail-humbuckers, hasn't he?
To all the helmets complaining please post links to your version for our viewing pleasure! Im revisiting this solo after about 15yrs playing .....it’s coming together a hell of a lot better than last time I tried it!!! Cheers Carl keep up the great work 👍
Also it sounds great on my strat too 😎
Slash actually used a telecaster for this solo....... oh no just kidding but Izzy did use a tele esp copy 🤔🧐
also one might say that covering is a form of making a song your own and not doing one's best to become a clone of an other artist
13:39 - me during the entire thing
How ya doing? Got the solo now :D?
same
🤣🤣🤣
Lol same
@@zockerhdgarantiert Nope!
18:41 proof that this solo is inspired by the lil Wayne solo
Lol
Slash copied his style from lil wayne xD
First time i listen to the solo i think the same Bro ahhahahah
🤣
To anyone trying to gain speed playing the upward run: simply split the solo up, and practice the parts separately with a metronome. Thus you can analyze more exactly where you are inaccurate or take too long and can practice those parts distinctively.
It might sound like a very simple hint, but I see a lot of guitarists only practicing full solo runs.
exactly....that is what I am doing, and it is working -:)
don't know how to use metronome tho, i don't understand those clicks and if I'm doing it right
@@markpadayao4665then practice with a backing track looped on the parts ur trying to improve
I memorise 4 notes per beat and speed it up from there.
Can’t wait to play this on my accoustic
@Goncalo Azevedo I finished this after 7 days on an acoustic. I'm getting my first electric delivered in literally 15 mins though can't wait to try it on that! 😁
@Goncalo Azevedo nope I got an ibanez grg 170dx. It's amazing I love it
@Goncalo Azevedo is was playing on it nonstop that I didn't even remember to respond to this earlier 😂
@Goncalo Azevedo I'm learning this on my acoustic guitar without a cutout. Not as bad as people said it would be but some of the bends get harder to do at the 15-17th fret cause i dont have a cutout. and obviously it's a solo by slash so its hard af
Good luck mate
while not my favorite g n r song... this is my favorite slash solo.
Cause he hates the song so he put one of his best pieces over it.
Cutthroat truth News is that true?
@@joelz5382 The intro riff was originally a string skipping exercise. Axl heard it and wanted to make a song out of it which Slash really didn't want to do. Tack on that he didn't think the song rocked as hard as the material he liked to play and you've got a couple of his reasons. He's come around on it a little because of how much people love to hear it, but he still doesn't really like it.
@@JohnGenericName Oddly enough, the songs he hates the most(SCOM, November Rain, Estranged, etc) have some of the best solos of his career.
GuitarLessons365>Marty Music
Two legends cannot be compared
Carl, You did an absolutely phenomenal job with this updated version. This is my go-to refresher lesson. Spot on.
"Sounds like, um, somebody honked their car horn in the middle of the solo" --Carl
I remember running out and buying Appetite For Destruction on cassette with my first check from my job at Sears and listening to it for months on end. It was way better than I expected it to be at the time. This solo was the whole reason for buying it in the first place, and it's still one of the greatest rock solos ever written to this day in my opinion.
Killer ear Carl, you pick up on all the small nuances that most people miss. For some reason I learn easier from you. Your effort is greatly appreciated.
Jason Bistarkey I agree
@@zachhankins1307 misses one or two also. just saying... But still the best tutorial i've seen
@@ryanduke6784here’s no way in hell your ear is more trained than his lmao. You’re def hearing things wrong
@@YashKnowsBest Yash definitely does not know best on this occasion
HOW IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HIS PLAYING!!!!!!! EPIC PLAYING CARL!! #KILLERCARL
He's a freaking beast w that strat
The man can play a guitar you should look up his cliffs of Dover cover haha
This is just child's play for him, he has conquered even more challenging solos like they're nothing
Step 1 : use a strat
NO WAIT
This was completely disrespectful that this guy did this with a stratocaster.
hey, now it’s not disrespectful cuz he is playing it as good as how it can be played on les paul
I use an upper end strat and a Ten Top McCarty 594 PRS to play this and guess what? Sounds just right 👍🇺🇸
step 1: use a les paul
Should have at least used a guitar with humbuckers if he doesnt have a les paul
Now I need to buy overdrive, reverb and wah.
Pulls out wallet to see spiders
me
Just buy a Line 6 Spider V 60 for home. It's perfect for practice. Lots of effect including wah, delay, tremolo and many many others. Combine it with any pedal and you are set. The amp alone sits at 250 euros.
Nikos Patsios line 6 for the win
Get rocksmith it has its own studio designer
hmu Philly the tone designer is shit ngl never got a good tone out of it before
15:15 I've been wanting to know this all my life. Now I connect the two halves of the solo. This is so great.
This man doesn't age I swear. Great lesson as always
I am a 13 year old boy and i am so happy with learning this solo(: THANK YOU!✌🏼
I too am happy... I'm only 12 though
I'm 14, and this is my favorite song! I am so freaking happy that I can now play this song too😂
I am also thirteen, been playing for about a year and have finally been able to play most of this solo, not quote there yet but close.
Same here bruh...love this song and glad teenagers still listen to these amazing songs !
I'm only 2 and I can play the whole song. Plus play it backwards. I'm bloody clever for a 2 year old
I owe this to my 15 year old self, so here we go. Once more into the breach dear friends...
I hear that
Took me about a month but I think it’s getting pretty close. Don’t get discouraged if you’re stuck in the fast part because there is a lot of way and distortion and wah there so not every note needs to be perfect. I would have made it sooner had I not been obsessed with the first fast run with the 3 slides up
whole reason I even practiced for the past 3 months. I did it except fast part on 4th solo but rest is packed down
I just wanna say, I am 10 years old and I successfully learned the first half of this solo! I am working towards finishing the rest! Hope this works! 🎉😊
Well done man
Congrats, keep on jammin! 🤘🏼
The most important advice ( to me ) for an intermediate guitarist trying to learn this:
'Start the fast part ( on the first of the two E notes ) with an an upstroke, everything will fall into place much smoother. If it feels strange to you, just do only one E note there with a downstroke, same thing. Or do two downstrokes on the two E notes - whatever you do, play the last E note you play at the beginning of the fast part with a downstroke and continue from there.'
Have a nice day.
“A guitar is a guitar though so let’s just deal with it.” 😂. Love it
This solo has been on my list of things to do for 30 years. Thanks for helping me check it off.
Did you complete it?
This will show that how many years slash will live.
👇👇
Hes got four left
Hey Carl, I just want to say that you did a great job with the lesson! I’m 11 years old and grew up listening to classic rock, so being able to watch your videos and play along with my favorite bands is really awesome. Keep up the good work👍
You’re 11 yrs old and “grew up” listening to classic rock.....slow down kid.
@@1vagrowr bruh cmon
I hugely appreciate both playing this in standard and original tunings. I'm playing on a Floyd Rose tuned to standard, so anything in standard helps me to play along with the lesson. Since there's no open strings (it looks like, so far, at three minutes in), I can just bring it back a fret to stay in key with you when learning along.
Teaching in the original tuning helps hear and feel the notes to newer players unaccustomed to playing in a different key; so it doesn't sound "off". Though, skipping learning key changes and going straight to Slash solos certainly is a leap.
Ever since I picked up a guitar 20 years ago I’ve been scared of this solo, not anymore. Thank you my friend!
man you're just awesome i never seen such a guy who play guitar as like as slash play...
Carl ur a legend, phrasing everything’s spot on fair play
what a legendary song it is, its 2020 and still so many people wants to learn it. AMAZING LESSON TOO!
Holy cow I was literally about to quit this song a little bit ago because in the other video #5 I was like “ok, I’ve heard this song a million times and this doesn’t sound right. I wanna learn an easier song now.” I am so glad that you made another video on the solo because now i can finish it. Thanks, Carl. You’re the best!
E harmonic minor is what makes this solo so great. I've learned a lot from this solo and will be incorporating elements into my own playing. Thanks
I have a love/hate relationship with you Carl.... I love that I have learned nearly every song I know from you and your video style is so easy to learn from.
But I hate when the songs are too hard for me to learn and you are up here playing them, like it is the easiest thing... smart arse!!
git gud noob
Same
2 years later...
Learned this the hard way on my cutaway Martin acoustic with gauge 12s on ( so much easier to get a sound on the couch ^^ ) - it single-handedly destroyed my frets within the 12th fret box scale. I do need a fret job done on this guitar by now, I'm not kidding you guys.
Amazing solo, thanks for re-recording this - your video from 2012 was what I started with around two years ago, slowly building up the feel and speed for the whole thing. In the acoustic band we play the first part of the solo ( did a Sweet Child O'Mine version without any main solo before ) now because my mates kept hearing it over and over at band practice, so they finally gave in at one point when it sounded 'good enough'. It's become one of my highlights from our set list now.
Keep them coming, Carl, thank you for everything.
The shred part of the main solo feels like unattainable guitar wizardry, hands down if you completed this solo im happy for you! me no plan of giving up learning this iconic solo.
For those who continue struggling with the part at 01:00 . I never got better on that because I was picking wrong. I took a very bad habit years ago and I think this is preventing me to get fast and clean on that part. So, be sure you are picking correctly (when going to the string below, start picking down..). Even now I'm slower, I think that at the end I will get it. I never paid attention on how I was picking, so is going to be hard to change the habit but it will worth it. Thanks for all tutorials, very appreciated.
Carl, I just want to say you are such a big help in my life. I'm 57, been playing for a LONG time and in a cover band in Cincinnati. I just don't have the time to learn leads like I use to. OK I'm lying, I'm just to lazy. LOL. You are a great guitar player and once again thank you for your patience and time for we old lazy guitar players. You're a GODSEND!!!! P.S. you saved me on Rush Free will!!!!
"Guitar's a guitar though, let's just deal with it." ---Carl
Don't know what's more impressive your playing, or your tutorial skills while playing. Great stuff.
Both
he is an shit crap teacher
15 people just got mad and gave up lol.
Thanks for taking the time to break it down I've been working on this one for a while.
Hands down the best solo in hard rock history 🤯
I have searched for tutorial for this solo for at least three month and that's sound exactly to the original! Finally, thank you!!
Can you do Its so easy by Guns N Roses
That song is so fucking easy
Why don’t you just fuck off?
Turn around bitch I got a use for you
Peter Parker You get Nothing for nothing if that’s what you do
Lmao the replies
Hell ya man, double high fives!! I've been trying to master that fast part at 10:30 on and off for the last few years. Of all the tabs and lessons this one finally got me there. The only thing I do differently (that I got from a 90's tab book) is at 14:28 is hit the 11th fret on the E string instead of 15th fret on the B string. when I slow down the studio recording it sounds like it's that but who knows. Anyway, very nice job dude, thanks for helping me to finally make sense of it.
Great job! I am so happy you made it more high quality and fixed some notes. I will definitely use this to learn the solo.
that rolling lick at the end is inhumane dude how does he do it really wow
"guitars are guitars that's the way they work XD"
@GuitarLessons365Song i would like to thank you for these amazing lessons with your help I have gotten from 035 to eruption in just 2 years thank you so much
Fight fire with fire lesson please!!!
That is a great Metallica song
Don’t underestimate yourself it’s actually an easy solo
Dad: See? This is why I don't have to buy you a les paul, son.
Sweet Child o mine is one of thee, if not the most ingenious song ever written..Think about Guns age when Slash wrote these melodies.Every part in this song sticks in your head including Axls melodies and duffs..The whole frigin album is like this..i can literally hum Appetite for destructon in its entirety..What a master piece that GnR couldnt top themselves.The music,the packaging and the song topics will never be duplicated..Awsome!
Well said! What are the other two songs?
@Hulk Hogan What about the Bee Gee’s? They were better than ABBA
And it all started with Slash playing a finger exercise on the guitar (the intro) as a bit of a joke with Adler. Izzy Stradlin liked it and came up with some chords to go with it. Axl heard it from upstairs and decided to write lyrics, later being teased by the band for writing about his girlfriend. The producer wanted an ending breakdown, but Axl wasn't sure what to sing and said "where do we go now," which ended up being the ending. I love how songs come together from seemingly meaningless interactions.
The Sound, text and feeling in this LP reflects 100% their life in those days. That's why even they can't top that again...amazing album and the only reason why I am still learning guitar
your videos have improved my guitar playing, and love of guitar paying so much!
13:04 first chop together. Thank you. Marty Schwartz plays it swhere else
Carl is the best for guitar lessons! Thank you Carl
Wonderful lesson! I keep learning it. Promised myself I will master the solo.
You are an amazing teacher! Greets from Spain
The Secret Trick to learning this solo
Don't give up. And listen to Carl instead of reading comments
XD
Best version out there. I even have the ''authorized edition'' of the original tabs from 20 years ago and there are more mistakes in that transcription. This is really really close if not exact.
Can I press LIKE 1000 times! You are great man. I’ve been using these videos for years to play in all of my different bands. Played and sang this song for 15 years but I think I’m heading back to the woodshed one note time. Thank you.
"now from there it gets a lot easier"
Getting to this part is has been the best part of the week
I was waiting for this. Thanks!😀
What about that tone? Man Carl... Not only your playing, but you even nail the freaking tone of the guitar, even using a Strat.
I have les paul Marshall amp and alnico pickups and don’t sound as good as this! True respect to Karl!!
Thank you so much for this lesson!! The beginning of the fast part was stumping me! Awesome!
Thanks so much Carl. You have some of the best lessons out there. I went from not knowing this song at all, watched all your videos for this song and now I can play note for note. Keep up the great work! 👍🏽
clown
That’s what I’m talking about Carl ! You did a fantastic job!
However Niko Slash plays it is the correct way...because he's Niko slash and he has a telepathic link to slash's mind
Niko plays it the exact same way.
Yes! Dude is incredible. Plays old school Slash better than Slash.
bigbassjonz Niko is my instructor.. you could not ask for better. It’s like slash is teaching you himself.
His fanatism makes me sick.
M. L you had to make a negative comment
Great lesson again man! Took me a few days to memorize everything and probably another year to play everything right 😭.
hello sir I'm from Indonesia, I really like the videos that you upload...
manteppp aku juga mantengin channel ini
Nice job with the solo. I like your timing and feel. You made that strat sound adequate for the job!
Goddamnit am I the only one who finds the bit at around 26:16 the hardest? My friggin fingers on my left hand get stupidly entangled when I try to increase beyond 80bpm. Ugh.
Krishanu Sen Its really hard
How do you figure out the solos, I mean the run with wah is just so hard to figure out by ear (because of wah), how can people develop such ears, is just beyond comprehension! Great lesson, probably the best I have found! Thanks for all the hard work!
I saw GNR 2 weeks ago, and spent most of my time watching Slash very closely. I had good seats but also used binoculars to watch details. He played for 3 hours and it was incredible to watch. Two things I noticed: 1) he is almost always watching his hands / the guitar-very focused. He’s not looking anywhere else, except maybe during his rhythm parts. 2) When he’s using the wah, it’s very customized. Meaning, he’s not just rocking it up and down with the beat. It’s more nuanced than just up and down. He varies the tempo and the amount of wah he’s sending to more specifically synchronize with what his hands are doing and, apparently, what his ears are hearing. It was really interesting to watch what he was physically doing to make such great music. And Carl is right about his vibrato-it’s really fantastic.
Hi carl, i just wanna say thank you because you basically taught me guitar and without your lessons i wouldn't have learned anything thank you so much you 're the best guitar teacher ever! 😀🎸🎸
All your tutorials help me so much, since I have music dyslexia, I always turn to Carl Brown to help me out
This guy deserves 1M subscribers
He got it
Music gods: then you shall get your wish
Alright I see a lot of comments on how hard this solo is
Work on it hard and take your time I’ve been playing for a year and I’m 45 seconds in right now and I have been practicing it for roughly 5 days on acoustic and it’s coming together great don’t get discouraged keep at it
i love how he said guitar is a guitar ik he doesn’t play with a strat i have been trying to say this for years
Everyone: you need a Les Paul and a Marshall for Slash's tone.
Carl Brown: sss strat
RIP to those fingers who are playing on acoustic guitar
WOW. There's a lot of work going on and teaching in such a cristal clear manner takes a even greater ammount of homework. I'm speechless here. YOU are a god. Or as we say in Brazil: you are FODA.
I like the new, more-joke-less-serious Carl :D
Beast!
Also, your playing improved so much since I started following you a few years ago..it's not easy improving this much when you're already super good! Hats off to you Carl
Really want a classic T in black with a white logo
I struggled for a week with this one.. got it nailed now. It's the timing of the fast riffs that had me.. so I watched it upside down and that helped so much. Thanks for the video Carl. Your awesome 🤘🏼
Only one thing i should say :
Carl must be A celebrity
havent tried to play this for years because i thought i couldnt . found it really easy now thx that was a solo i always wanted to learn. cant thank you enough
found it easier to learn a section, stop practice it get it nailed , learn the next bit stop nall that, stop put the 2 bits together nail both together , learn the next bit etc.

Spending so much time to teach this solo really helped me out after struggling years ago with the tableture book that is sometimes confusing way its layed out.progess I made with this was amazing thank you Carl..😊😊😊
Once I can play it like this, I can die...
Thank you man! This is a great lesson and you're a great teacher!
2000 IQ to anyone else who can play this solo!
Ya I think you nailed it my Man! Thanks for the lesson. I appreciate you taking the time to make this for free. 🙂👍
This is spot on😍 The wah and the feel🤩💙 Carl you are the Best🤞🤘
If it wasnt for the work you do, I wouldnt be able to properly play probably 80% of the songs I do with the cover bands I am in. Thank you so much you are a Saint!
A thing of absolute beauty this guitar solo. Only sounds better with time. Slash captured musical perfection here, IMO. 👍😎🎸🐈
ONE OF THE BEST YOUTUVE CHANNEL EVER,THANK YOU SO MUCH TO YOUR LESSON SIR......
after playing this solo I still wish I could play like slash but i’ve only got 2 fingers left!
Man, I just wanna give you a hug!!! great job
